car = 95 civic hatchback
98 bseries motor
93 intermediate shaft w/ 93 driverside axle and 00 sir passenger side axle

problem...
when the motor was put in, the first turn i made the dirverside axle inner joint blew...after a while of driving the passenger side blew

i was told that the reason the driverside axle blew was because of the use of a 90--93 intermediate shaft...if this were true why did the passenger blow aswell???

could the problem be bad motor mounts, would the movement of the motor be causing the inner joints to blow?
anybody have any experience with this???

any help would be appreciatted, replacing axles is getting expensive

imported_spl_civic

Sounds like a poor install..

Go back mad..

imported_spl_civic

ya i'm worried that it's a bad install...

when the driverside driveshaft went i replaced it with a new one...then that one went too....
i was wondering if the engine mounts would cause this problem...otherwise what else would????

Never ever assume I have any knowledge on B series Engines or transmissions...

the fact is I don't

the reason why is because:

1) I have never done a swap for my own car, while I have helped others do swaps I haven't done one for my own car.

2) I'll never be doing a swap like that for the simple fact I race in stock spec classes and always will it's cheaper and the whole reliability factor comes into play

the question was...
"can bad mounts cause cv joints to blow?"

imported_spl_civic

they were stock mounts and the car is only lowered 1.8"
